Vijnana Bhairava Tantra – 104


Wherever I go


Vihaya Nijadehastham Sarvatrasmiti Bhavayan|
Dridhena Manasa Drishtya Nanyekshinya Sukhi Bhaveth||

So long you have been thinking and believing that this physical body is who you are. Ever one and thing outside your skin is not you.
This meditation says, drop this idea that I am in this body. Just be with the feeling that I am everywhere. When this becomes so firm in you and your vision too entertains no other thought than this, the berson becomes happy.
The larger our area of operation, the more freedom we have. The more freedom we have, the happier we are. This Tantra tells us not to limit our jurisdiction to this body. It is an imaginary limitation as even this body draws its food from that whole world not to mention the air and energh, the thoughts, the knowledge for its many decisions. When all of these have the whole world as their place of origin, then how can you limit yourself to this mortal, changing and ageing outline? Know this truth and be happy. - SS
